  • Westerners do seem to have a view of China that's stuck in the 1960s in terms of politics and 1980s in terms of development. Hence the insane cope when people present them with images of even 3rd tier Chinese cities.

  • Well at least they're good for helicopters, but they won't arrive in time for the planned invasion at this point anyways.

  • Anything but monoculture grass lawns inimical to all natural life are anti american and an affront to your HOA council.

  • Notice the distinct lack of "D" after the U.

  • mb forgot to turn on tank stance

  • T-80U probably?

  • I used to think they were just skunky like that until I tried one from the actual brewery and realized it was their shitty green bottles that kept letting in the UV from the sun that turned them that way. Its not as bad in the cans or brown bottles.

  • Of all the potential attack vectors RAM is one of the least likely because they use off the shelf controllers made by the same 2 or 3 companies, and if you add anything to it for spying its very easy to detect. Much easier to modify peripherals or use the backdoors the NSA mandates in all our CPUs anyways.

  • If you have an android device, check out Mihon and its forks on github (sideload only since its not on the app store), you have to add an extension repo like Keiyoushi which gives you access to scrape basically every manga piracy site/aggregator that exists.

    If one goes down or has slow updates which seems to be more and more frequent these days (fuck kakao), its very easy to migrate to another source.

  • Tu-95 gang extremely vindicated

  • Type 69 tanks for Iraq <-> Type 69 tanks for Iran

  • This is already the case in China where the semi rural areas are filled with farmers who own their own patch of land that isn't super big but still big enough to produce surplus food for sale at local markets. Technically less efficient than the industrial farms but still very useful for people. I used to only buy fruits and vegetables from the street markets and the supermarket was reserved for specialty and imported goods you couldn't get locally.

  • PLA honour guard comprised of 6 foot+ dongbei hunks only.

  • Newegg used to be the GOAT of online PC parts and after the acquisition has been the definition of enshittified. CPC get his ass.

  • Well the PAP do carry arms, but you won't see them at all outside of important places or high traffic touristy areas e.g. there are a handful of PAP around Tiananmen Square usually armed with Type-95s in very clearly marked armed police kiosks/vans. The article just feels like wishcasting though, like you're telling me the society where everyone has a smartphone didn't manage to get even one reliable recording/photo/anecdote about this out? Maybe they expect us to believe that Chinese internet censors are omnipotent?

  • common Diddy Tensei L

  • I don't think that's accurate, the PLAN had 8 Type 055s built in 4 years, and another 8 on the way in the same timespan. The USN in WW2 had over 100 cruisers built.

    If we're talking about potential though, Chinese shipbuilding capacity dwarfs the US, and in a hypothetical war scenario (that somehow doesn't turn nuclear) with full wartime production the gap widens more. However I expect that given their expense and the fact that they'll be priority targets that the PLAN will likely use their submarines and Type 054A/B and Type 052Ds to do the heavy lifting, since a loss of a frigate or destroyer isn't as crippling and they're much faster and cheaper to build. It'll be like that image where the US navy has a handful of decades old arleigh burkes and trump battleships vs the latest batch of PLAN destroyers, laid down 2 months ago, commissioned last week, with another 4 dozen on the way.

  • Too bad they still caved though :(
